Definitions
- the present invention relates to a transfer box for transferring movements and forces from a tiltable cab portion of a heavy vehicle to a gearbox, mounted in its chassis.
- the transfer box comprises a first frame portion mounted on the cab portion, and comprises at least one lever portion journalled on at least one bearing.
- the lever portion is connected to cable ends or push rods connected to a gear shift lever.
- a second frame portion is mounted on the vehicle chassis and comprises at least one second lever portion journalled on at least one bearing and connected to cable ends or pushrods connected to a gearbox.
- the first lever portions and the second lever portions interact to enable transfer of movements and force from the cable ends or push rods connected to the first lever portions to the cable ends or push rods connected to the second lever portions .
- COE Car Over Engine
- COE Car Over Engine
- the vehicle For heavy duty vehicles , where the maximum length of road-going vehicles is restricted, it is common to provide the vehicle with a cab mounted on top of the engine compartment, i.e. a so called cab-over or COE (Cab Over Engine) design.
- COE Car Over Engine
- the tilting function does pose complications, mainly when it comes to transfer of driver commands to the components mounted in the chassis, such as steering wheel movements to the steering wheels, clutch pedal commands to the clutch, brake pedal movements to the brakes, and gearshift lever movements to the gearbox.
- This invention is mainly directed towards a transfer box enabling low friction transfer of gearshift lever movements to the gearbox.
- One other feature of COE designs is that the cab in most cases is resiliently suspended from the chassis; in order not to transfer chassis vibrations to the cab, it is
- the main drawbacks with the pushrod systems are, firstly, that vibrations from the gearbox and chassis are transmitted to the gearshift lever, and secondly, that adjustments of the gearshift lever position vs. the actual gear position are difficult. Moreover, it might be necessary to dismount the pushrods prior to a cab tilting operation or to use a design where the pushrods system is separable, such as described in EP 34 21 74.
- a transfer box comprising first and second cooperating lever portions, wherein the first and the second lever portions are provided with cooperating portions comprising a wedge provided on the at least one first lever, and a wedge shaped opening provided on the at least one second lever.
- the second frame portion is suspended from the chassis by at least one resilient member, e.g. a spring.
- alignment means could be connected to first and second frame portions, respectively.
- the lever portions could be journalled on ball bearings.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing two cooperating portions of a gear connection according to the present invention in a non connected state
- Fig 2 is an exploded perspective showing components of the gear connection according to the present invention. DESCRIPTION OF AN EMBODIMENT
- a dividable transfer box 100 is shown in an open position.
- the transfer box 100 comprises first and second upper lever portions 130, 140, which are connectable to first and second lower lever portions 210, 220, respectively, in a way that will be described below.
- first and second upper lever portions 130, 140 are connected to the first and second lower lever portions 210, 220, which in turn are connected to pushrods or cables (not shown) .
- the pushrods or cables are connected to control levers (not shown) of a gearbox (not shown) . Movements of the push rods or cables will effect gear changes of the gearbox, in a way well known to persons skilled in the art, thus transferring preferably two dimensional movements of the control lever to the gearbox.
- the upper first and second lever portions 130, 140 are shown mounted in a first frame portion 150.
- the upper first and second lever portions 130, 140 are journalled in bearings 130' , 140' , which are fastened to the frame portion 150 and allows rotation of the upper first and second lever portions 130, 140.
- the upper first and second lever portions 130, 140 are provided with connection means 130a, 140a for connecting to first and second cable or pushrod ends (not shown) .
- ends of the first and second upper lever portions 130, 140 are formed as connecting wedges 140b (the wedge of first lever portion 130 is hidden by bearing 140' in Fig. 2) .
- a cone shaped member 160 of an alignment means could be included in the first frame portion 150.
- first and second lower lever portions 210, 220 are shown.
- the first and second lower lever portions 210, 220 are journalled in bearings 210', 220', which in turn are fastened to a second frame portion 250.
- An alignment member 260 comprising a cone shaped opening 260' , whose shape corresponds to the shape of the cone shaped member 160 of the first frame portion 150 could be fastened to the second frame portion 150.
- the frame portion is preferably fastened to a vehicle chassis by means of two resilient members 280, 290, such as coil springs. These springs accommodate movements between the chassis and the cab portion, which movements primarily emanates from the fact that most cab portions are suspended from the chassis, but may also emanate from manufacturing tolerances .
- the first and second lower lever portions 210, 220 are provided with means for connection, 230a, 240a to the push rods or cables (not shown) . Moreover, they are each provided with wedge shaped openings 230b, 240b, whose shape corresponds to the shape of the connecting wedges 140b, respectively (the wedge of first lever portion 130 is hidden by bearing 140' in Fig. 2) .
- the invention aims to solve the problem with transfer of gearshift movements from a gear lever mounted in a tiltable cab (not shown) of the vehicle and the gearbox, which usually is mounted within the vehicle chassis .
- the second frame portion 250 is mounted on the vehicle chassis, as mentioned suspended by the springs 280, 290, and the first frame portion 150 is mounted on the tiltable cab such that the bearings 130', 210', 140' and 220' are aligned, i.e. such that the centre axes of the bearings 130' and 140' are aligned with the centre axes of the bearings 210' , 220' , respectively, whenever the cab portion is in an untilted position.
- the connecting wedges 140b (the wedge of first lever portion 130 is hidden by bearing 140' in Fig. 2) will engage the wedge shaped openings 230b, 240b of the first and second lower lever portions 210, 220.
- This engagement makes the first and second lower lever portions 210, 220 and the upper first and second lever portions 130, 140 move as two separate levers, wherein the first separate lever comprises the upper lever portion 130 and the lower lever portion 210, and wherein the second separate lever comprises the upper lever portion 140 and the lower lever portion 220.
- connection means 130a, 140a there will be a transfer of movement and force through the separate levers; a force or movement exerted on either of the connection means 130a, 140a will, due to the rotatable mounting of the levers in the bearings 130' , 210' , 140' and 220' be transferred to the push rods or cables (not shown) connected at lower connection means 230a and 240a, meaning that a movement of the gear lever in the cab will be transferred to the gearbox, and effect a gear shift.
- the connecting wedges 140b the wedge of first lever portion 130 is hidden by bearing 140' in Fig.
